Safflower Carrier Oil (High Oleic)

Safflower Carrier Oil (High Oleic) is extracted from the seeds of Carthamus tinctorius (carthamus tinctorius seed oil), offering a nearly odorless and light-textured oil that is ideal for use across personal care, culinary, and industrial applications. Its high oleic acid content makes it a stable choice for formulations requiring long shelf life and improved emolliency.

This carrier oil is popular in skincare and haircare due to its smooth absorption and neutral aroma. It works well in lightweight creams, facial oils, and conditioning treatments, making it a preferred base for cosmetic formulators. In culinary applications, the oil’s stability at high temperatures makes it suitable for baking, sautéing, and salad dressings.

Offered in HBNO bulk, this oil is favored by manufacturers seeking consistent quality and large-volume supply for diverse product lines. It provides a flexible formulation base for personal care, food, and specialty industrial products.

Private Label services are available for businesses looking to expand their product line with a clean-label carrier oil known for its reliability and compatibility with other ingredients.
